Re: 5082 ERROR_STARTUP_ERROR unable to write to applicationP

I also experienced this with a lab-setup (fresh install SLE12.4) , so i used the suggested path (/etc/opt/microfocus/sspr),created manually (as root) and ran into this problem.

To examine the problem i set the rights to that path to world-writable (chmod 777) from /etc/opt/microfocus and down ... just to see under which user stuff got written.Turns out its the user tomcat, so i then cut back the rights to 744, set the owner and group of the folder (recursively) /etc/opt/microfocus to tomcat ( chown )

I did test to only have the group changed to tomcat and owner root, but that was a no-go - same error appeared
